OMAHA TO RULE OV IMPERIAL Only One Contest Manifests Itself at the Annual Election HE Imperial Council of the Mystic Shriners completed its Jabors yesterday afternoon, and now all the Nobles are:free t devote the remainder of the! stay in this city to the enjoy ment of the hospitality cf their local brethren. The principal event on the programme for the closing session was the election of officers. As there was but one contest the election did not con- sume much time. Imperial Potentate Fhilip C. Shaffer occupled the chair for the last time In his official career, and was succeeded by Henry C. Akin of Omabha. The greatest interest was manifcsted by the representatives in_the electicn of i Noble to the office of imperial oriental guide, which is the lowest executive of- fice in the gift of the council. It is also regarded as a stepping stone to ihe office ot imperial potentate, as a Noble who is elected to the office of guide, in accord- ance with the custom of the Shriners, is eventually elevated to the highest posi- tion in the Mystic Shriners, For this office there were three candi- ates, Frank C. Roundy of Chicago, H 8. Peck of Hartford, Conn., ard C. i Beck of Detroit. It took two ballots tg decide the contest and to award Frank C Roundy the honor of acting for the ne: vear in the capacity of imperial orient. guide. The election of the representative from Chicago was rather a surprise to his many friends, as only on the previous day he had announced that he would not be a candidate for the offics. Noble Roundy is well fitted to perform the du- ties of his office, as for the last nine years he has been a representative of his temple in the Imperial Council. He is & past potentate of Medinah Temple, and for two terms he held the office of illus- trious potentate. Roundy was kept busy for the remainder of the day recelving the congratulations of his’ friends. He was as much surprised at his election as they were. The elections to the other offices were PRI ANTS WARSHIPS FOR PROTECTION German Official in Ven- ezuela Reports a Revolution. BERLIN, June 11.—The German cruis- ers Gazelle and Falke have been sent to La Guayra, Venezuela, at the special re- quest of the German Charge d'Affaires at Caracas, Herr von Pligrim-Baltazzi, in consequence of a revolution having broken out in the suburbs of La Guayra, leading to the bombardment of the town by the forts and the Venezuelan war- ships. WASHINGTON, June 11.—Rumors of a conflicting nature regarding the Venezu- elan insurrection reached the State De- partment to-day. No official advices were recelved at the department regarding the progress of the revolution reported this morning as seriously threatening Presi- dent Castro’s government. In the ab- sence of any such advices the. State De- partment is not Inclined to regard the situation as serious as rumored. The last officlal advices received here said that Manuel A. Matos, the revolu- tionary leader who has adopted the title of president, was too far to the south- ward of Caracas to be at this time within striking distance of the capital. In the event that the disturbance should become serious, and especlally should Germany take a hand for the protection of German interests, or should by the presence of warships flying the Kaiser's flag lend influence to one side or the other, it is not unlikely that the State Department here would ask the Navy De- partment to dispatch a naval vessel to La Guayra. The Cincinnatl and the gun- boat Machlas are now nearest to that port. 2 PETALUMA, June 11.—Fire destroyed G. 'P. McNear's mill and feed store last night. Loss $15,000,with $4000 insurance.

LONDON, . June 11.—Colonel Arthur Lynch, who fought with the Boers in South Africa and who in November last was elected to represent Galway in the House of Commons, was arrested this morning on his arrival at New Haven from Dieppe, France. Colonel Lynch, who was, accompanied by his wife, was brought to London and was afterward taken to the Bow-street police station. Subsequently Colonel Lynch ‘was ar- ralgned at the Bow-street Police Court on the charge of high treason and was remanded until Saturday, June 14, after formal .evidence of his arrest had been presented. The prisoner, who was describe¢ on the charge sheet as a journalist, appeared unconcerned until the magistrate asked him if he had anything to say in answer to the charge. Then he arose and replied, almost inaudibly, “No. sir.” He did not apply for bail and was taken to hig cell, The Irish Natlonalists in the House of Ccmmons to-day attacked the Ministry on the subject of the arrest of Colonel Lynch. They wanted to know why the colonel had not the same right to sur- render :as other burghers. The Govern- ment leader, A. J. Balfour, replied, “He is not a_burgher.” John Redmond, the Irish leader, and J. Swift McNeil (Nationalist) then turned to the Secreturi; of State for Homé Af- fairs, Mr. Ritchie, and asked him why he had not fulfilled his ministerial duty ia informing the House of Colonel Lynch's arrest on the charge of high treason. Mr. Ritchie denied that it was his duty to so-inform the House, but- when the Irish members appealed to the Speaker, the latter upheld the Nationalist cohten- tion that the usual practice was to in- side guar@; Willlam S. Brown of Pitts- burg was re-elected to the office of im perial treasurer, while Benjamin W. Rowéll of Boston, Mass., was re-elected to the position of imperial recorder. Henry C. Akin, the new imperial po- tentate, is a representative of Tangier Temple, Omaha, and is considered one of the most popular as well as one of the mcst faithful workers in the mystic order. He is well versed in all the requirements of his office, and his selection, which was a matter of course, gave satisfaction to ali the Shriners. His friends in the order predict that he will make an exemplary imperial potentate and a worthy successor to Philip C. Shaffer, who has now become past imperial potentate. ] ool e el @ FLAMES ROAR - INTHE FOREST Immense Damage Being Done to Timber in Colorado. —_—— Special Dispatch to The Call. DENVER, June 11.—Forest fires are raging at three different points in Colo- rado, and before they die out will destroy millions of dollars’ worth of timber. There is practically no way of cogtrolling fires in the mountainous parts®of this State, and they burn until all the mate- rial 1s exhausted. Twenty square miles of forest will be burned by the fires now raging. The big- gest of the fires, as reported by the State Forest Commissioner, is near the town of Rudi, fifty miles west of Leadville. Two mountains are blazing, and perhaps ten scuare miles of timber has been burned. The flames are visible for a hundred miles at night and the valleys are dark from the smoke. The edges of the valleys in the neigh- borhood of Red Cliff, Eagle County, are also burning, and the forest rangers re- port that five square miles have already been destroved. Near Morrison, twenty miles south of Denver, a third fire, equal to the Red CIlff fire, is burning. . The forest rangers say that the fires are set by timber men, who, under the law, may-.not cut green timber, but are free to cut it when dead. Fire kills the timber. Forest fires this early in the vear are unusual. t [ ] bl @ form the House of Commons of such an incident through the Speaker. Furthes | questions were ruled out of order and the subject was dropped.

Recommendation Made by the United States Is Favor- ably Received. e Sne cial Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, B W., WASHINGTON, June 11.—In a cable from Minister Conger saying that repre- resentatives of the powers in Peking have agreed to a combined reduction of $1).- 000,000, the State Department receives the first assurance that other nations are inclined to follow the lead of the United States in dealing leniently with China. More than six months ago the United States declared itself as ready to reduca its share of $25,000,000 by a million. It was suggested to otHer powers that they make a proportionate reduction. Secre- ernment ‘was of the opinion that Enz- land and Japan should not share in this concession for the reason that, as is gen- erally conceded, neither “country’s claim was even up to the figures of the loss they underwent. The claims of France, Russia and Ger- many are considered almost exorbitant. The cause for the reduction is the steady depreciation of the value of silver. The powers combined and declared that thair share of the indemnity must be paid ia gold. The steady rise of the price of ex change on account of the depreciation sllver was such that a reduction of at least $10,000,000 was necessary to bring the aggregate of the claims of the na- tions within 450,000,000 taels, or $330,000,000, the figure at which the Indemnity was fixed and which was within China's abil- ity to pay. * While no details have been received as yet from Minister Conger, he merely said that the reduction had been effected along the lines suggested by the United States. It is not thought that the reduction has been proportionate. If each of the other powers had reduced its share of indem- nity one twenty-fifth, as has the United States, the aggregate would be mucn | more than $10,000.000.

Special Dispateh to The Call. NEW YORK, June 11.—The formal an- nouncement of the formation of the ship- building combination was made to-day. The plants concerned are the Union Iron Works of San Francisco; Bath Iron Works, Limited, and Hyde Windlass Com- pany of Bath, Me.: Crescent Shipyard and Samue! L. Moore & Sons of Elizabethport, N. J.; Eastern Shigbuilding Company of New London, Conn.; Harlan & Hollings- worth of - Wilmington, Del., and Canda Manufacturing Company of Cartare, N J. It was sald and on good authority that three other shipyards will be added as soomr as the company is launched. Lewis Nixon said to-day: ‘This combination is not for the pur- pose of putting @ip prices or in any way restricting production. By economical and_eflicient management it will be able to reduce the cost of production. The slipyards of this country have not been able to manufacture ships and it is time that along with our supremacy in other fields of industry we should be able to achieve a like eminence in shipbuilding. Our development along manufacturing lines could not be arrived at in shipbuild- ing unless we cease doing things in a swall way and bring about a wholesale condition. That is what I mean when I s that our shipbuilders Lave not been alle to manufacture our ships. “Shipyaras must specialize to arrive at condiuions of building wherein we can compete with foreign builders. Ship- buiiding is the great coming industry of this country, and the formation of the present company is the fqrerunner of an industrial enterprise which cannot be matched in the world for all around ef- ficiency. When the combination is actu- ally formed it will statt with contracts aggreg=.ing $37,000,000 and which will be cleared from the books within three years. No other industry can so directly benefit the United States generally as one su cessfully carried out on the lines we pro- pose. “New York is to have the largest dry- Plans have been pre- pared and property is now being acquired.
